* Dog the Bounty Hunter Prepares for New Season
* Actor Sues DTBH Producers
* Dog to Battle on Celebrity Family Fued
It's time to check in on Duane Chapman and Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Less than a month until New Dog the Bounty Hunter
The new shows debut on Wednesday, July 16 on A & E Network.
Dog the Bounty Hunter,” a reality TV series that follows the unruly activities of Duane “Dog” Chapman, is returning to the air after its indefinite cancellation last November. Fans will be able to hear the beloved strains of “I’ll hunt you down, cause I‘m the dog” when the show continues with a brand new series on Wednesday, July 16.
The show, which is aired on the A&E network, chronicles the life of bounty hunter and bondsman Chapman who resides in Honolulu. Events of previous episodes have included his work in tracking and capturing bail jumpers and occurrences in his family relationships.
July 16 can't come soon enough for the legion of Dog fans.
DTBH Producers Sued by Actor
A Russian-born actor, Boris Krutonog, who says he created Dog the Bounty Hunter, has sued the show's producers for at least $5 million. Krutonog claims that he's owed compensation for royalties, salary and other considerations.
Krutonog also complains in court papers that he was the target of "abusive, violent and outrageous conduct" and "episodes of psychotic behavior by" the show's stars, Duane "Dog" Chapman and his wife Beth. Court papers say that he introduced himself to "Dog" Chapman in 1995. Believing that Chapman's colorful life and exploits could be the basis of a movie or a TV show, Krutonog signed contracts with Chapman and received the exclusive right to develop the program. Between 1995 and 2003, Krutonog alleges that he developed what became Dog the Bounty Hunter. The papers noted that A&E agreed to pay him as co-executive producer "for the life of the program" in order to obtain Krutonog’s consent to produce and air the show.

As fans well know, DTBH was pulled from A&E's lineup last November after a private cellphone conversation was sold by his son to the National Enquirer. The Enquirer released the tape which contained racial slurs.
In May, A&E announced that the show would return, with assurances that Chapman had taken the necessary efforts in receiving forgiveness from those who had been affected by his racist comments. A statement from the network explained, “Since the premise of Dog the Bounty Hunter is about second chances, we have decided to give him one.”
Before the show's suspension, the program was the network’s highest rated series.
Looks like Duane Chapman is making the most of his second chance, which for fans and Chapman alike, begins on July 16

.....way ta beat 'em over the head with their own strap on hammer and pop sickle, Isle of Lesbos!
Three islanders from Lesbos told a court Tuesday that gay women insult their home's identity by calling themselves lesbians.
The plaintiffs—two women and a man—are seeking to ban a Greek gay rights group from using the word "lesbian" in its name. Also known as Mytilini, Lesbos was the home of the ancient poet Sappho, who praised love among women.
It is a major travel destination for gay women. The Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece "causes confusion by using a geographic term in connection with (the group's) special character and social action," said Dimitris Papadelis, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs. A spokeswoman for the group accused the plaintiffs of homophobia.
"I believe ... the other party's intentions were purely racist," Evangelia Vlami said.
"They showed that what bothers them is a specific sexual orientation."
YOUR SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS A RACE NOW HOMINIDS, DIG?
"What will they do next, sue the United Nations? They, too, use the term lesbian," Vlami said. Plaintiff Dimitris Lambrou has insisted the lawsuit "is not an aggressive act against gay women." Lawyers from both sides are to submit written arguments on Wednesday, and the court is expected to issue its decision in the next six months.

* Straight Inhabitants of Lesbos Lay Claim to Their Name
Michael Savage takes to the airwaves daily during his popular talk show "Savage Nation". Now, Savage will be taking it to the courts to stop copyright infringement against a familiar adversary.Savage has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the Council on Islamic-American Relations, and has accused the organization of being a "political vehicle of international terrorism" that seeks to do "material harm to those voices who speak against the violent agenda of CAIR's clients."
Anyone familiar with CAIR knows that the organization is familiar witht the American legal system. CAIR has famously filed suits against bloggers who disagree with their views.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in California, seeks damages equal to the ongoing donations from CAIR supporters "who expect CAIR to act in this manner in exchange for continuing financial support" as well as "actual damages according to proof."
CAIR has yet to emerge victorious in the courts, but the legal expenses incurred by bloggers many times serve to dampen criticism of the Hamas-connected front group.
Now, CAIR is on the receiving end of a suit and it will be interesting to see if their uninspiring legal won-lost record is improved.A spokesman for Savage indicated the top-rated talk show host would have no further comment, saying the text of the lawsuit itself would answer questions.
There's no love lost between either Savage or CAIR.
The focal point of the lawsuit is a series of audio clips CAIR has been using in its promotions and fundraising efforts.
"I'm not gonna put my wife in a hijab. And I'm not gonna put my daughter in a burqa. And I'm not getting' on my all-fours and braying to Mecca. And you could drop dead if you don't like it. You can shove it up your pipe. I don't wanna hear any more about Islam. I don't wanna hear one more word about Islam. Take your religion and shove it up your behind. I'm sick of you."
Savage vs. CAIR. If it was a TV special, it would acheive "must-see" status in many homes.
Savage is over-the-top and unabashed in his views, while CAIR is no less over-the-top, though somewhat more sly in expressing their views.
Michael Savage Vs. CAIR?

DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER: GIRLFRIEND TO SUE DOG -UPDATE-
You just knew it was coming.
In an America where someone sues when they spill coffee in their own lap, it was only a matter of time.
Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman will be the target of a lawsuit by his son Tucker's girlfriend, Monique Shinnery. She said she plans on filing soon.
More from the NE:The victim of Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman's racist rant announced today that she plans to sue him.
Monique Shinnery, who was repeatedly called "n----r" by Chapman on tape told The National ENQUIRER: "I'm going to sue Dog Chapman."
Chapman not only subjected her to racist slurs, but he also attacked her character in subsequent TV interviews, even though he had never met or spoken to her.
His public attacks on her character pushed Monique over the edge.
As he attempts to save his TV show, Chapman has appeared on two national TV shows offering tearful - and at times bizarre apologies - for using racist slurs. But he has continued to damage Monique's reputation while trying to dig himself out of trouble, she told The National ENQUIRER.
"I want justice," Monique told The National ENQUIRER. "He has slandered me, stated that I have bad character and repeatedly lied about me on national television. If I'm ever going to hold my head up in public again, I need to stand up for what is right."
In March, Dog used the "N" word over and over again while demanding that his son, Tucker, dump Monique, his girlfriend of seven months, if he wants to be part of the Chapman family. The conversation reached the outraged ears of the world when The National ENQUIRER exclusively released the venomous, racist tapes, and caused A&E to drop Dog's show from their schedule "for the foreseeable future." A&E has refused to cancel the show, its top moneymaker.
Chapman has apologized for using the "N" word, but he has tried to keep the focus off the fact that he said he did not want a black person in his house or in his family.
In his first written and public apology, Chapman, who had never met, nor seen, Monique, said, "I was disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character."
"Dog Chapman knows nothing about my character," Monique, 21, who has no criminal record, works with mentally challenged children and hopes to enlist in the Coast Guard, told The National ENQUIRER. "He doesn't know me, and he has never met me.
"I have had threats from his fans. I have been hiding, afraid to go out. After Dog's slander against me, my boss told me they might require that I take a drug test. I have never done drugs.
"Dog said on television that I had a plan to jump (his wife) Beth and hoped to tape her using racial language. He said he saw me and another girl in a car outside his shop, wearing tank tops.
"I never wear a tank top, I have never been in that parking lot when they were at their bail bond shop and I certainly wouldn't jump Beth. I weigh 105 pounds! She'd kill me!
"It was all lies. He 'apologizes' and then continues to lie about me. I cannot and do not accept his apology, because it was insincere.
"It's not even about him using the 'N' word. It's about him not wanting a black woman to be part of his family or part of his son's life.
"They use the 'N' word all the time. Once, Beth said to Tucker, 'If you want to smoke, you can go over to your n----r girlfriend's house and smoke.' Beth's as much of a racist as Dog is.
"Tucker and I were talking with Baby Lyssa (Dog's daughter) one time and she said, 'N----rs,' and quickly changed it to 'black people' when she realized I was listening. Their family is just like that.

Looks like Monique is reaching for her Lawsuit Lottery ticket and her 15 minutes of fame.
Hope we don't get sued for saying that.

Something light before breakfast this morning. From the pages of that esteemed German periodical, Der Spiegel comes news that old rich horny guys have one more weapon in their battle to conquer the young and stretchless.
Aging German playboy Rolf Eden has rarely taken no for an answer. And he's not about to start. He has filed charges against a 19-year-old for refusing to sleep with him. The complaint? Ageism.The story goes on to relate the number of women Rolf has been with and that he was apparently quite the Man-About-Berlin in the 1950s and 1960s.
It's no secret that Germany has a problem with ageism. Workers here who lose their jobs after the age of 50 are virtually assured of spending the rest of their lives on the dole. A recent plan to up the retirement age to 67 was lampooned because most Germans of that age are no longer employed anyway.
But aging German playboy Rolf Eden seems to have developed a somewhat warped view of what age discrimination actually is. According to Bild Zeitung on Thursday, the 77-year-old Eden has filed suit against a 19-year-old Berlin woman for the following reason: Despite a night on the town with Eden, which ended back at his place, she refused to have sex with him, saying the he was too old for her.
"That was shattering. No woman has ever said that to me before," Eden told the tabloid. "I was crushed." He has filed charges with the prosecutors' office, he said. "After all, there are laws against discrimination."
And geezers everywhere are now reaching for their lawyer's number.
